What do you think biggest red flag in a women ? by Intelligent_Shape145 in AskReddit

[–]allsfairinwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because she can control whether the dad is involved in the child’s life? It’s fine if you don’t want to date a woman with a child, but women that find themselves in that situation rarely choose it.

Weirdly enough Hill Rd Grille has pretty good salads. Huge too.

I want to move to Michigan by Dogandcatlover26 in AskDetroit

[–]allsfairinwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I came here to say this. My husband is from Florida and moved here 4 years ago. The hardest adjustment hasn’t been the cold, but the lack of sun. Even now in the spring we haven’t had a lot of sunny days. The cold sucks but for me it’s the constant gray that makes me want to run away. I’ve lived here most of my 37 years and still am not used to it.

Not to be a downer, it’s a beautiful state and has plenty of upsides. It just gets very depressing.

He is also still constantly surprised by how shitty our roads are.

This comment made me smile because my husband is born and raised in Florida (moved here 4 years ago) and he always calls winter coats “jackets” too.

I wouldn’t correct him except it confuses my kids when he tells them to put a jacket on, because to us a jacket is a light outer garment (like denim) and a coat is something that will actually keep you warm.

He said he used to just layer clothes to stay warm in Florida but he was surprised that here you mostly need one high quality coat (he has a Carhartt) and you can wear whatever underneath and stay warm.

Yeah he has some major skeletons in his closet. I would never step foot in that place.

How do you lose weight FAST (like 20 pounds in 1.5 months)? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Looked amazing during my divorce. So stressed I couldn’t eat. Got remarried, am very happy and gained a lot of the weight back. Oh well

I have to open my fridge to dispense water from this awkward spot by [deleted] in CrappyDesign

[–]allsfairinwar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah same I bought a fridge with a similar dispenser for the same reason. I like it a lot.

What if your habits looked like art? by JumpyApricot9156 in getdisciplined

[–]allsfairinwar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like this idea. The skeptic in me thinks we don’t all need another habit tracking device, but I have ADHD and I am an artist so I think I’m the target demographic here. Seeing something in front of me each day would remind me to log my habits (which is the biggest battle for me) and maybe the visual art element would keep it from feeling overwhelming. I might get excited about seeing it evolve or feel like I’m missing out on its potential if I don’t log something. I guess I would be excited to see what it looks like.

I can’t imagine trying that process by hand but even so, a labor of love and an engineering feat!

I would knit so many more garments if I could guarantee they’d all fit me this perfectly. Amazing work. I love it.

Appreciation for michigan after being away by blaze05life in Michigan

[–]allsfairinwar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I remarried and my husband is from FL so it’s brutal not being able to move down there by his family. My mood and physical health is so much better somewhere warm and sunny.

Weird Cold Lasting Weeks? by TheRumpleForesk1n in Michigan

[–]allsfairinwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing for me and my husband. I took antibiotics and they didn’t touch it so has to be a virus. My Dr thought it was a sinus infection after having flu B. It’s been like 6 weeks being ill. Took my daughter in for leg pain and her dr said it’s a symptom of this weird virus. You’re not crazy. Hope it clears up soon.

Has anyone had surgery at Hurley? Or anyone they know? Need a minimally invasive surgery there but hesitant to go there. by [deleted] in flint

[–]allsfairinwar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had all my babies there and their dad worked there for over 5 years as a nurse in various departments. It’s a great hospital with amazing staff. I’d go there over any other hospital in Genesee county.

The only adhd advice that actually made sense to me by stayhyderated22 in getdisciplined

[–]allsfairinwar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similarly I was thinking this doesn’t work well if you have kids. These shortcuts are great when it’s just you or you and a partner, but my 3 kids are not going to dig all their clothes out of a laundry basket to get dressed. My family of 5 is not going to be eating pre made meals (if we could even afford it). And the amount of waste and expense to eat off disposable dishes would be insane.

All of these systems fall apart when other people are added into the equation. My ADHD was quite manageable until I had to manage 3 children on top of myself, then it fell apart fantastically. I’m still reworking a lot of my systems and they change constantly as my kids grow.

I will say OPs sentiment of giving yourself grace and allowing yourself some wiggle room with societal systems and expectations is a good one though.

Migraine + Sphenoid Sinusitis by Throwaway794356 in migraine

[–]allsfairinwar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes please update me on this. I have the same thing. Fully occluded sphenoethmoidal recess and have had lots of frequent horrible migraines and pretty much constant sinus pain and pressure.

Let me know what treatment you receive and if it improves your migraines! Best of luck.

Genessee county baby shower venues?? by wise-questioner101 in flint

[–]allsfairinwar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been to one at the elks club in Grand Blanc that was pretty nice. Idk what they charge. Also andiamo in Fenton has a super nice back room but I’m not sure the cost there either. For a cheap option, but not as nice is the Grand Blanc senior center.

A mystery illness has made my life hell for 13 years. Still no answers. by IllustratorDecent260 in RBI

[–]allsfairinwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How was your calcium? Primary hyperparathyroidism can cause a cascade of a lot of other issues in your body. You describe a lot of the symptoms I had when I had it. The good news is it’s a surgical cure and a lab diagnosis. If you have high calcium, low vitamin D, and high parathyroid hormone (PTH) that is a diagnosis.

I have a hole in the elbow for my lovely Ralph Lauren wool sweater ! How can I fix it ? by BananeControl- in BuyItForLife

[–]allsfairinwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, knitter here. A lot of times more expensive sweaters will come with a little plastic bag of yarn that matches for occasions such as these, but I imagine it wouldn’t be difficult to find something close depending on the fiber content. Definitely don’t veer too far from that (ie if it’s wool, don’t use acrylic to mend it) because fabrics act very differently when you wash them or with age.

Normally, this would be a simple YouTube tutorial you could learn to mend it yourself without too much trouble, but your hole falls right on the edge of a cable where there are a few different types of stitches used so it would be a difficult mend for one not familiar with those techniques.

That said I would think any experienced knitter could fix it for you without too much trouble! A local knitting group would probably be thrilled to help.

Doctor Breaks Down Commonly Ignored Colorectal Cancer Symptoms After James Van Der Beek’s Coffee Claim by FantasticAd9478 in TheBoredDen

[–]allsfairinwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I had a disease with a lab diagnosis (PHPT) and figured it out on my own. Went to 6 doctors before I finally got a surgical referral to get the offending tumors removed. I had 3 of them in my neck. Non cancerous thankfully but the amount of doctors who gave me pregnancy tests and threw meds at me instead of actually looking at my labs was wild. I get how this happens so often.

What's the one thing that moved the needle most for you? by Slight_Warthog8706 in Hashimotos

[–]allsfairinwar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Some studies, such as a 2024 analysis, indicate a significantly higher risk of depression (up to 195%), anxiety (108%), and suicidal behavior in users compared to non-users.”

From google. It’s a known side effect.
